Plot: The mystery surrounding the enigmatic void on the west pasture of the Abbott family ranch deepens as Royal and his wife Cecelia struggle to keep their family together in the aftermath of their granddaughter’s sudden disappearance. The stakes have never been higher for the Abbotts, who now face threats on multiple fronts with profound and unforeseen circumstances that could shake the very foundations of time itself.
Review: With so many shows on television and streaming platforms, it can be nearly impossible to distinguish yourself from the pack. While Outer Range may be a complex blend of genres, the first season was unlike anything else. Blending elements of everything from Yellowstone to Arrival and The Twilight Zone, Outer Range ended its first season with some substantial cliffhangers, while the second season wastes no time diving right into the murky complexity of this story of multiverses, parallel timelines and so much more.

As is always the case with “Reservation Dogs,” Season 3’s sixth episode, “Frankfurter Sandwich,” is full of surprises.
The 30-minute installment begins with the uncles — Big (Zahn McClarnon), Brownie (Gary Farmer) and Bucky (Wes Studi) — on a rescue mission for Cheese (Lane Factor). By the end, all three grown men are sobbing, mourning their past mistakes and the friend they lost as the perfectly fine Cheese watches in confusion.
It’s an episode that emotionally keeps viewers on their toes. In other words, for director Blackhorse Lowe, it’s classic “Reservation Dogs.”
“It’s very much in character with what ‘Rez Dogs’ is, which is very much about community, home and letting go of your guilt and finding peace and forgiveness within yourself — but also just love for community itself,” Lowe said of the episode.

“We’re just men, you know. We don’t know everything. We make mistakes. We don’t know shit.”
Slowly but surely, television is moving back to its original state and what the streaming era should have always embraced: weekly releases. As streaming series like Ahsoka, Only Murders in the Building, and others have proven, the weekly release model is usually the way to go when it comes to maximizing the potential of episodic storytelling.
And yet, some TV experiences can benefit from a binge – or at least a back-to-back screening. The most recent and brilliant example is Reservation Dogs‘ profoundly perfect double feature of “House Made of Bongs” and “Frankfurter Sandwich.”
Those watching Reservation Dogs season 3 episode 5 “House Made of Bongs” on Aug. 23, 2023 had no reason to believe that it would merely the first part of a whole. This flashback...

Lane Factor spent most of his teen years on camera, growing up on FX’s “Reservation Dogs.” The hit series premiered in 2021 and comes to an end in September after three seasons. Factor plays Cheese Williams, one of the show’s four Indigenous teenagers living on the “rez” in rural Oklahoma. The Oklahoma native, who is of Creek-Seminole and Caddo descent, talked to Variety before the SAG-AFTRA strike about learning the craft, how the cast and crew helped him overcome his anxiety and working with Steven Spielberg in “The Fabelmans.”
What has the journey been like for you, getting to grow up on TV as Cheese and taking him through this final season?
It’s been so amazing. I’ve learned so much. This was my first role. I’ve learned about starting fresh with this character. But I felt so connected to Cheese because as he was growing, so was I.

“How beautiful to never search for who you are. Everything you need is here. In the millenniums of certainty.”
There’s an old African proverb I’m fond of that says “the child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.” I’m so fond of it, in fact, that this is the second article within the past seven months that I’ve chosen to open with it.
I like the phrase because it immediately glides over the vague platitudes of “it takes a village to raise a child” with the grim possibility of what might happen to that village if it doesn’t. It also inevitably raises other questions. What if the child was embraced by the village but he burned it down anyway? Or what if the child decided to burn himself down instead.

The Sundance Institute revealed on Wednesday that it has received the largest endowment gift in its history, a $4M endowment in support of the the Institute’s Indigenous Program from the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, which will provide new support for artists from California-based tribes, both federally and non-federally recognized.
Facilitated by Figr Tribal Chairman Greg Sarris, who participated in Sundance Institute’s Screenwriters Lab in 1992, the gift will allow the Sundance Institute to expand the offerings already available to artists through the Indigenous Program, an integral component of the Institute’s work that officially began in 1994 and has been woven into the organization’s values since its inception in 1981, when Native American filmmakers were invited by founder Robert Redford to participate in the originating meetings of the Sundance Institute and its first filmmaking lab.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains detains of the Reservation Dogs episode “This is Where The Plot Thickens,” which dropped today on Hulu
Exclusive: “It’s all real,” Kaniehtiio Horn’s mythical Deer Lady assures Officer Big (Zahn McClarnon) in the multi-genre latest episode of Reservation Dogs.
Directed by Blackhorse Lowe, who co-wrote “This is Where The Plot Thickens” with series co-creator Sterlin Harjo, the eighth episode of the FX show’s second season goes deep into inner and historical space. Having dropped today on the Disney and Comcast-owned streamer, the episode almost entirely centers on Big and local drug dealer Kenny Boy (Kirk Fox), as well as fitting within the overall arch of the Peabody Award winning Rez Dogs and simultaneously standing outside the Indigenous North American strong series.

“Nanny” was the big winner at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, picking up the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Dramatic Competition in a virtual awards ceremony Friday.
Cooper Raiff’s “Cha Cha Real Smooth” was also a winner, nabbing the Audience Award in the U.S. Dramatic category, while “Navalny,” a late addition to the festival, won the U.S. Documentary Audience Award.

Almost doubling in size, the all-Indigenous staffed room will also see star Devery Jacobs stepping behind the camera too for the next season.
“She’s made films and it’s something that she’s always wanted,” Reservation Dogs creator Sterlin Harjo told Deadline about the actress, who portrays Elora Danan on the acclaimed dramedy. “I found myself on set, sometimes we would lean on her, like there would be something that Elora Danan was going through and we would go to Devery for the answer and she would give us this very thoughtful answer,” the showrunner said.

It’s an exciting time in film and television, with more Natives writing, directing, and developing content. We’re challenging images and stereotypes and wiping the war paint off the lens.
These are the films, shorts, and documentaries that Native storytellers have shared with us in the past 20 years. A celebration of diverse voices within our community — as you’ll see, our tribes and experiences are all different from each other.

NEW YORK -- The Sundance Institute has announced the three emerging filmmakers who will receive its 2007 Feature Film Program fellowships and grants.
Producer Chad Burris has been awarded the Mark Silverman Fellowship for New Producers for writer/director Blackhorse Lowe's "The Left-Handed Path", a 2006 Sundance Screenwriters Lab project.
